TEST: APRILIA D/DORO 1200 – 27In the stuffy world of Political Correctness Aprilia’s Dorsoduro 1200 is not so much a breath as a blast of fresh, invigorating mountain air. Or so KR Ed Ross MacKay and contributor Jock McLauchlan reckon.
TEST: GILERA NEXUS – 33Piaggio has come up with a cracking combination of pace, performance and parsimony in its Gilera Nexus 300ie. Michael Esdaile & Big Dave explain.
BIKE OF THE YEAR 2011 – 41It’s that time of the year again, Bike of The Year time. It might seem like only yesterday when we were debating the merits – or otherwise – of 2010’s crop. Yet in that time over 60 bikes have been put to the KR test.

DiRt FeAtuResDIRT LAUNCH : KTM FREERIDE 350 – 89KTM is at it again, redefining the bikes we ride. Meet the Freeride 350, a 350EXC-F engine in a three-quarter size package. Part beginners’ bike, part experts’ play bike, be ready to be amazed....
DIRT TEST: KTM 690 – 93As he contemplates the next stage of his life, former dirt tester Dene Humphrey reckons an Adventure Bike – perhaps one like KTM’s 690 Enduro R - has got to be part of it.
COOPER & KING STAR AT TAUPO – 103Suzuki’s Cody Cooper was again the man to beat at the annual Labour Weekend Motocross Extravaganza in Taupo. Evergreen veteran Darryll King also impressed. Andy McGechan has the story.
ADVENTURE: NAMIBIA – 117With his debut ride in the daunting Dakar Rally confirmed, South Africa-based Kiwi extreme enduro ace Chris Birch headed to Namibia in October in search of suitable terrain to practise on. This is the story of that adventure.
ADVENTURE: KAIPARA RIDE – 121Forests, farms and fantastic stretches of little-used gravel roads, the Kaipara 200 Adventure Ride had it all. KR Ed Ross MacKay reports.

A new player in the Kevlar rider jean market, Bull-It jeans are now available in NZ. The real difference with these jeans however, compared to what’s currently available, is the Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) protection liner, that is five times
stronger than steel and much stronger than Kevlar, found in most other brands on the market. This unique cut-resistant LCP
liner also maintains its abrasion resistance when wet, whereas the performance of other aramids such as Kevlar are greatly undermined when subjected to moisture. Given our fickle weather, that’s an added bonus! Protection is further reinforced with high-strength Vectran® stitching, while there are hip and knee pockets to add CE armour. Rider jeans that tick
all the right boxes, for protection, style and fit, the new Bull-It mens and womens range is available from all good motorcycle stores.
bull-it Rider JeansFFM’s new for 2012 Streetpro helmet, has just landed on our fair shores, and given the features and price this helmet is well worth checking out for budget-conscious sport touring riders.

Inside the plush lining and cheekpads are removable and washable. As with the entire FFM range, the Streetpro meets ECE22.05 safety standard.
